The process of lionizing continues with unremitting assiduity. " It has been supposed that Mr. NVanamaker gave evidence of fitness for a cabinet position in the success that had attended him as a mer chant. LTn fortunately for the coun try Mr. Wanamaker seems to have held this idea to the detriment of the country. A merchant works in his own interest; a public official should be concerned for the public good. Mr. Vanamaker has acquired the habits of the merchant and can't break off from them, and is a disgrace to the Administration ot which he is a member-provided the administration has any standing before the country. We have always urged an addi tion to our currency and do now. Exactly how much more this coun try needs is a mere matter of con jecture which each man can fix for himself. We are not afraid of hav ing too much so that it is money and not mere paperlike Confederate money at last became and like the green-backs were fast becoming at one time Our country is so vast in extent, and in many sections the banks are so few that we need more enrrency relatively than such com pact countries as England and France and Germany. News and Observer. Fob many years, indeed ever since the discovery ot this continent, the Indians have presented the race problem to the serious consid eration of Anglo-Saxons. What shall we do with the IndianT has puzzled alike the statesman and the philanthropist. Again and again the experiment has been tried of giving them a local habita tion in commonwealths peopled by white?, but they do not seem to thrive with such environments. North Carolina Indians have had every advantage that could be af forded and yet, Chief Smith thinks they will ultimately go to Indian territory. 2so one will denv the natural advantage?; something else is required to make a city. The Koanoke Times has a just view of the subject when it says that with - our men to push them, natural vantages amount to uttie more m, nothing Th.r, ar, hnt ffiw towns without them, bat a great man v are without the men. eood storr was told yesterday and it 'iiinra- tbi. rrnfh nf thi ahnT illustrates the truth ot the aDOve.

This is an appropriate compliment to the central city of the New South. Count von Moltke is still of opinion that Germany shonld have i a strong military system. The old Field Marshal looks at the European situation with the eyes of a soldier, and in bis plain and blunt fashion : of speaking probably expresses very noerly the real feelings of the i yonng Emperor. Philadelphia lie- i cord. It must be pleasing to noble na- tures to see the interest taken oy Northern men in the ceremouies that will be observed in Richmond, at the unveiling of the statne of Gen.

The press could not have a better representative, nor the occasion be graced by a more knightly gentle man. IT is gratify ing to know that in all the exoiting scenes that have transpired during the present Con gress the Democratic Kepresenta-1 tives of North Carolina have stood by their colors. Fortunately for the Bute they are men of integrity, couraga and intelligence, who com mand the respectful consideration of their fellow members. They are wedded to honor, and nothing can divorce them. The millers of Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri met in St. Louis last Saturday to form a trust and operate the sixteen mills as one, thus controlling the price of flour in the South and Southwest. We don't know how it is in other States, but North Carolina cau easily uecome inaepenuent oi such combinations. She can not only produce enough ilour to feed her own people, but also famish large supplies to surrounding States. Me. Tuckee, of Virginia, having offered and. advocated an amend ment abolishing the tax on tobacco, Mr. McKinley, in opposing Mr. Tucker's amendment, said, "The committee on Ways and Means had not entirely abolished the tax on tobacco, first, because the conn try needed the money and, secondly, because it was not necessary to abolish it iu order to preserve in tact the great protective system of the Eepnblican party." What is this but an admission that "the great protection system" is dearer to the Eepnblican party than the liberties of the people! Eveey thing that concerns "the Davis Family" is of interest to our people. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in a letter to Colonel Wm. H.

To give a true picture of war in I of its great horrors one must have been in the midst of the bloody struggle of battle, where lege of leadiug a charge at Antie Southern Presbj teriau contending forces have met in full . tarn, and jet at Chautilly befell determination to carry the day or lav down their lives in the attempt. , , ,. bitices.u entered the world man Kind h;is been at war with each other, not only for gain of spoilsj or the rectifying of grievances but nirpn K'mi.lv for the honor of o.ten s.mplj for the honor of supremacy and the display of valor. ... , . , agt-s lie situation 01 loaay nas J tieen much changed. Instead of mucn cnangeu. instead o. war following war, as history in forms us, nations have become more enlightened and pacific in their views. Diplomacy comes iu for the settlement of disputes where formeily uolhing less than over powering forces and blood shed would be accepted. There has been no great conflict since the Franco Prussian war in 1870, and, though hostile breezes occasionally arise, the world is at peace, and today there is no doubt greater happiner-s and prosperity than at any future period. To fully illus- ; tr,lte the horrors and appalling j tflcCt8 0f war we copy from an 1 exchane : "Dm i ug the war we used to read of companies falling back, regi ! ments giving ground, and brigades i becoming demoralized, aud the average reader iook u ror cowaraice and openly expressed its contempt.; , o miin ever went iuto battle twice ! alike. No company, regiment or brigade were ever situated twice alike. A man may be very brave in one battle and very timid in the next. llis phs:cal aud mental!is that Mr. M.

If he wins he mav live on until the next fight. If he loses be gets a head stone in a national ceteuuery. I cannot make you understand the situation bet ter than to give you personal ex periences. The great majority of 80ldiers had the same feeling and passed through the same ex- periences. At first Bull Run my brigade gained ground for several hours. This, with a small loss of men, kept as encouraged. Indeed, it was hard for the officers to restrain us. Every man was hopeful and deter mined; and any single company would have charged a regiment. The panic had upset thousauds be fore it touched us. . Indeed, the re treat had been going on for two hours before we got word. We were well in hand and ready to advance when the news reached ns. In rive minutes every man was shaky. In ten minutes men whose faces were powder stained were sneaking out of the ranks to gain j the rear. In a quarter of an hour j half a company of Confederates ! could have driven the whole brig ade like a flock of Bheep. I saw men cry like children. I saw others tremble and sit down from weak ness. Every fresh report added to the feeling of terror, and by and by pride and discipline gave away to a grand rush, and it was every man lor himself. No man would stop to reason. No one cared ! whether his comrade was ahead or j behind. This was called cowardice, j DUi iv waseuoi. ii was panic tue terror of battle a senseless but powerful something which seizes the bravest men and makes chil dren of them. In the streets f Fredericksburg I saw Federal soldiers -discharge their musket into the air, when the enemy was within point blank range. I saw plenty of them drop on their knees and tremble, and groan, and cry. This was a case where every man saw the hopeless ness of attack. He felt that be was pushed forward to be shot down. There was uo way for re treat until the lines should fall back. Ou the other hand, the Con federate troops posted behind the stone wail at the foot of Marye's hill joked and smoked and were in : the highest spirits, feeling them- . felve8 peare fr,.m , ballets, and i knowing they could beat back any force. 0ne of them told me that ; after taking dead aim on thirteen ' different men and dropping every one of them he refrained from - ont ot gheer pity f()r th(J jjuman targets being shoved up to meet death. ! At Malvern Hill my regiment lay in the dry bed of a creek, at the foot of the elevation. It was a : natural rifle-pit, and sheltered us u that we had only a slight loss iu killed and wounded.

Mr. Simmons is undoubtedly, we tbintf, the most popular man in the dis trict. The tariff monopolists and jute bagging trust spent lots of money in this district in the last campaign to secure his defeat, be cause he had so thoroughly aroused their enmity by his vigorous at tacks on the robbery tariff and especially this infamous trust. It ut will be remembered that he intro- duced and strongly advocated a bill to repeal tlie duty on jute bagging iu order to break down the trust on that article, which cost tne cotton farmers so much money. Even with the opposition of these monopolists and their money Mr. Simmons was defeated by only about GOO votes, so great was his popularity.

Wilmington Messenger: TLe Riieigh Chronicle mentions a report, probably well grounded, that President Battle, of the University, will resign the presi dency and take the chair of history. Be has unquestioned and excellent qualifications for that chair. The Chronicle says the institution is to have no president, but to make one of the (acuity act a chairman, as is the case at the University of Virginia.

Wilmington Messenger: A ueutleaitn who has just oeen through Miit.npi is quoted in nn inti-rvtew in iho Char lotte Chronicle as sajing: "At Vicb,. burg I met a negro man from North Carolina who use 1 to drive a stage from Louisburg to Frankliuton, and whom I knew. He told me that one of the levees brraktng killed seventy negroes from North Carotiaa. Those who were not drowned starved to death in the trees in which they fl-d fot refuge. The ground had been perfect ly dry the night before whun they re tired. If I lived in that country I should never go to sleep without a boat being changed to my bed. " Stonewall Items. There was one fight in front of the court bouse on Monday between one Williamson and a McGowan. No dam age done. The prevalent belief is that court week is always a wet one. And this one did not falsify the prevailing idea. We were full wet when court came, and got still wetter after its arrival on Monday. There was a severe and destructive hail Btorm passed below here about nine miles, which did considerable damage to the crops of C. A Flowers, Jno. Moore, and all in the immediate neigh borhood; and the wet in our section has added quite an amount of work for the farmers. The Irish potato crop bids fair to be a big yield. Some have dug, and there L will bo a good lot shipped next week if there is any means of shipping Where is the TahomaV Echo answers where! We surely are in need of some reliable means of transportation V M. Hahan had a runaway after court adjourned. His horse took fright at some hogs running under him and took a boust around among the crowd. No damage, only ridding the buggy of its top, upsetting S. J. Lane's buggy, and causing a small amount of excitement and curiosity. Our court was convened on Monday at 11 o'clock, Judge Whitaker presid ing, and on Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock it was adjourned, having ex bausted the docket; and I can truth fully say that no judge that has .re sided at one of our courts has given more satisfaction than Judge Whitaker. There was but one word of complaint, and that was because the Judge failed to convene the court until 11 o'clock, and held the court until past 8 o'clock at night on a frivolous suit of four dol lars damages, ti the detriment of all who had to be at home to attend to their own interests, for it was evident that there was no necessity, as there was but a small amount of business and none pressing, as there was not a single criminal in our jiil nor a single State case Of much importance. It was the opinion that it was solely for the conve nisnce of the Judge to get home, no difference who was inconvenienced. No cases of public interest were on the docket. What Englishmen Say of K. E. Lee. Invitations were sent to several dis tinguishe 1 men in Europe asking them to come to the unveiling ef the Lee statue, but, as was expected, the great distance will probably preclude any of them from visiting Kichmond on that occasion . Two of those who were invited have responded to the invitations, and while they cannot be here thay speak of Gen eral L-e as the very highest type of manhood. AN OFFICER "S OPINION Litutenant-Oeneral Feemantle, of the department of the Adjutant-General for auxiliaryorces, writes to the Gov ernor from London under the date of May 9ih as follows: "'I am extremely flattered by the in vitation which has been cent me to at tend at the unveiling of General Lee's statue at Richmond, Va. I regret very much that my official duties will pre vent my being able to attend at a cere mony of so interesting a description. I Bhall always regard General Lee as the greatest an 1 best man I ever had the good fortune to meet." WOULD LIKE TO HONOR HIM Colonel L. Lancliffe writes to Gov- einor McKmney from Woniey Hall Sheffield, May 10th, ih following: "I have received thr niKh Mr. Frank Lawley the iu vitation t be preientat the unveiling of a monntm nc 10 Hen.
